Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Lightspeed on May 31, 2004, 10:30:04 am: So... vote vote vote :)

i'll err... just check how this turns out, because i'm quite indecisive as to what to do next right now :doubt:

Post by: Stunaep on May 31, 2004, 10:38:33 am: I say FS2 Caps. Currently they have semi-ugly tiled textures (that somehow manage to look good ingame) that are low-res, and the majority of FS1 don't need that much upgrading anyway.

Post by: Janos on May 31, 2004, 11:08:23 am: FS-2 Caps. Yes, yes, yes.

Post by: kasperl on May 31, 2004, 11:11:59 am: Meh, there is a lot of work too be done on FS2 caps, but I think the FS1 caps deserve it a lot more.

Post by: Ghostavo on May 31, 2004, 11:26:09 am: FS1 Caps... Orion baby... ORION!!!! :nervous:
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Rictor on May 31, 2004, 11:32:45 am: fs2 caps, but in my mind this includes all the cap ships which make an appearance in FS2, and not only those native to FS2, so it includes the Orion and Fenris/Levyathan.

Looks like FS2 caps is winning atm :)

Post by: Jetmech Jr. on May 31, 2004, 12:43:31 pm: FS1 and 2 caps all the way
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Flipside on May 31, 2004, 12:47:34 pm: FS2 caps, because although the FS1 Caps need it, the FS2 ones need it so much more! ;)
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Lightspeed on May 31, 2004, 12:51:22 pm: Actually, they all need it, because technically you won't be able to play with anything that isnt properly env mapped. (env will be maximum intensity everywhere - ugh)
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Fineus on May 31, 2004, 01:12:30 pm: I also have to go with FS2 Caps... but more importantly all caps. Whatever you can do.
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Trivial Psychic on May 31, 2004, 01:55:56 pm: I voted FS1 fighters/bombers, since these get overlooked so often. If you do chose FS1 cap-ships however, I'd advise you consider making the Fenris maps for the hi-poly version as well. Also, I'd ask that you support the Leviathan skin from the Port, with the blue dot in place of the red one.

Later!

Post by: aldo_14 on May 31, 2004, 05:19:05 pm: Make some more planets

;)

EDIT - don;t do FS1 fighters, etc - because they have by far the best mapping - plus the biggest maps.

so what? they still need alpha env maps to work properly, PLUS having the best mapping /biggest maps will accelerate the progress quite a lot.

-edit: 'bout the planets: I'm working on something different atm, something that DG asked for quite a while ago. Still haven't got the effect to work as I wanted it to.

Yeah, but FS1 ships aren;t going to be used that much in most campaigns. Unless you're specifically thinking of the TVWP, in which case I guess it makes sense.

Post by: Lightspeed on May 31, 2004, 05:55:29 pm: Till TVWP uses ANY of the FS1 fighters there's still a lot of time to go. And as we're working on chapter One anyway, this doesn't matter at all. :)

But it would be favourable for those playing the Port.

:p :rolleyes:
Which is why I have no moderator abilities. :p

But I can't decide... :(

The FS2 capships need it the most, but the FS1 ships look the coolest...

I'm soo torn. I want a higher detail Valkyrie, and Athena... but I want to see the Vasudan ships looking better. Woe is me.
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Bri_Dog on May 31, 2004, 06:06:27 pm: Do FS1 and 2 cap ships.
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Knight Templar on May 31, 2004, 06:10:04 pm: FS2 Caps. But do the Athena too just because it is the l33t3st fighter ever.

Post by: Fineus on May 31, 2004, 06:29:31 pm: Keep in mind that - hopefully - they'll all get done eventually. FS2 capships see the most action outside of FS2 fighters - ergo they should be done next (and god knows they need it).

My thoughts exactly. Go for the ones that see the most use for now and move onto the rest afterwards. :)

Post by: Gank on June 01, 2004, 07:51:05 am: Dont bother redoing the fs2 capship textures, redo the mapping and get rid of the tiles.
Title: What should lighty texture next?
Post by: Lightspeed on June 01, 2004, 07:58:42 am: Remember I can't model, so unless someone wants to fix the screwy tiling mapping for me I can't do anything 'bout that.

And yes, I might change the look a bit here n' there.

Post by: Taristin on June 01, 2004, 10:14:33 pm: Actually... This could give me a chance to smoothen the Sobek a little bit, and make a higher LOD for it... And the Anuket, I could fix...
